Rudolph was a non-factor after blowing up for 122 yards and two touchdowns last week. Despite managing the second most yards (636) of his career, 2018 was a major step back for Rudolph, who had just two touchdowns outside of a fluky Week 16. Rudolph could see his more red-zone looks next year, but his snaps could take a hit with fifth-round TE Tyler Conklin a candidate for a larger role. Sun, Dec 30, 2018 08:43:00 PM

Kyle Rudolph caught nine passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' Week 16 win over the Lions.

Both are season highs for Rudolph, who's been a non-factor this year. One of Rudolph's touchdowns came on a 44-yard Hail Mary at the end of the first half. With Darius Slay locking down Stefon Diggs, Rudolph led the Vikings in both receiving and targets. It's an overdue breakout for Rudolph, but he'll remain just a TD-dependent TE2 for Week 17 against Chicago. Sun, Dec 23, 2018 05:07:00 PM

Kyle Rudolph hauled in 3-of-3 targets for 23 yards in the Vikings' Week 15 win over the Dolphins.

A disappointing season for Rudolph continued in what should have been a good spot. That could have been different if Kirk Cousins would have found him on what should have been a 23-yard touchdown, but the ball was too far out in front. Rudolph will remain a touchdown-or-bust TE2 next week against the Lions. Sun, Dec 16, 2018 05:15:00 PM

Rudolph was targeted on a 4th-and-goal play from the two-yard line, but it fell incomplete in the third quarter. It's simply been a lost season for Rudolph, who just isn't converting his red-zone targets this year. It's made Rudolph a barely-playable last-gasp TE1 in fantasy. He gets the Dolphins next.
